"Well, I should introduce you to the staff" Charlie sighed. She...probably should of tried to reassure Job that he could still be redeemed, even without his soul in his possession, but...well, she was...pretty sure now that he gave up his soul he couldn't be. So...didn't want to give the little guy any false hope on that point.
"Staff. right...so...you run this place then or..." Job has elected to change the subject as well, if Charlie was so sure he couldn't get out of hell it was probably best not to dwell on it. Besides it lines up with his luck pretty well...
"Yeah!...Well, technically another Demon named Alastor helps fund our operations but it was my idea..." Wait. Shit, Alastor, right. Um... "Oh, uh...you probably are gonna want to...avoid him? He's...not someone its safe to be tiny and powerless around."
"...Is anyone someone its safe to be tiny and powerless around, especially in hell?"
"Thats...an interesting point but he's uh" Charlie does some mental math, weighing how much she could tell Job without traumatizing him while still ingraining the point of "Stay away from Alastor." Well, he did just get to hell lets ease him into it. "He used to be a serial killer and is still pretty evil."
"What?! Why the heck does he fund this place then!? Why the Heck do you LET him fund a place thats suppose to be a redemption cen-"
"Hey lets not have this conversation right now!" Charlie smiles down at Job as she quickly changes the subject. "I do have a couple of people I should really introduce you to if your gonna work here so-"
"Work here?" Job cuts Charlie off. "...How am I gonna work he-"
"Well, when you show up dressed like a bellhop I figure its kind of fate for you to end up working here, plus it would mean it be easier for me to keep you safe then just leaving you at my house." Charlie shrugs.
"...Dressed as a what?"
"...Oh, right you...wouldn't of seen that...yet. One second theres a mirror over here" And Charlie holds Job up so he can see his own reflection...and the smaller demon goes pale.
He...hadn't realized just how much he had been changed by becoming a demon. He was...well, he honestly looked like an anthropromorphic, blue mouse...in a red and black bellhop uniform with gold buttons. Why the heck did he show up dressed like a bellboy?! He swallows a bit of fear before meekly responding...
"...Can I point out the....obvious problem with me being a Bellboy"
"Oh, no obviously I'm not gonna make you try to hall bags around or anything" Charlie waves off his concerns with her free hand. "I mean even like, a loaf of bread would be big enough you probably couldn't lift it. I'm probably just gonna end up putting you on the payroll and having you be a greeter or something"
"...I...I guess I could do that"
"Great! Now...I should probably introduce you to...
